Overview

The Engineering Knowledge Management level Prep (Motor) course replaces the Chief/Second Engineer (Unlimited) EKs course.

This course will assist you in preparing for MCA's Professional Management Level Engineer Reg.III/2 Unlimited written examinations.

The course will run for seven weeks Monday - Thursday with Fridays used to catch up for example after a bank holiday.

This year we're offering the course on campus or online.

On Campus Course

This course is face-to-face at our Riverside campus led by our experienced lecturers.  On-campus topics are enhanced by visits to our workshops and our fully operational working engine room, which is the only one currently in operation at any training establishment.

On campus course dates:-

Online Course

This course is dedicated to online provision, with the same experienced lecturers.  The delivery style is similar to the on-campus course and will blend PowerPoint assisted lectures, group discussion and past question interpretation and solutions.

Online course dates

For both courses, we recommend that you have a suitable IT device and it is essential that for the online course, you have a device with a webcam and a reliable internet connection.
